Singer sent me an article in which a paper of mine was supposedly quoted. Trouble is, I never said what I was quoted as saying. Singer promises to handle these situations. So far, all they've done is tell me to write to the authors of the paper myself.

"a few hours after the new Time cover dropped, Mr. Musk posted on the social media platform he owns to flatter the president, writing, “I love @realDonaldTrump as much as a straight man can love another man.”

I was delighted to see yesterday that the Times listed Hampton Sides' The Wide Wide Sea as one of the ten best books of the year. The book is about Captain Cook's third and final voyage. I've read it and I think it's wonderful.
